Publication number: 20150169717Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for comprehensive data synchronization management between a sponsor-company's central electronic-laboratory-notebook system and either multiple contract-research-organizations or research sites. The system features a data loader server that can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud and allows scheduling of synchronization jobs of electronic-laboratory-notebook. The data loader software communicates to the contract research organization and the sponsor company's electronic laboratory notebook and executes scheduled or on-demand jobs. The data loader software may synchronized subsequent update of the data and may automatically delete the data from the contract research organization's site once a given transfer is complete. In some implementations, the method and system is configured for automation, scalability, and high-performance operations that focused on efficiency, security, configurability, and privacy/intellectual property protection.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Applicant: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventors: Yong Wang, Christopher P.

Patent number: 8854361Abstract: In certain embodiments, the invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatus that allow a user to visually augment a graphical rendering of either a chemical structure representation or a biological sequence representation with multi-dimensional information. A user captures a video image using a computing device such as a hand-held smart phone, computerized eye glasses or tablet computer. The video image includes information regarding at least one of a chemical structure and a biological sequence. A processor identifies, within the video image, a graphical representation of at least one of a chemical structure and a biological structure. The processor augments the graphical representation with additional information and provides the video data for presentation upon a display controlled by the computing device. The computing device presents the video data in substantially real time in relation to the capture of the video data by the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventor: Robin Y.

Patent number: 8126899Abstract: An information management system creates data structures based entirely on the content of source files, then compares these data structures to discover synergies and commonalities. In one embodiment, the system accepts a first collection of source files, and extracts text from each source file. The text is compared to tags in one or more dictionaries, which comprise hierarchical listing of tags. Tags matching the text are associated with each source file. The system then generates a virtual relational network in which each source file having matching tags is a node. Tags associated with two or more source files are links between the nodes. This virtual relational network may be compared with another virtual relational network to discover common nodes or links. Source files later added to a collection are massively linked by associating all tags from all source files with the newly added source file, and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventors: Robin Young Smith, William Brian Ballard

Patent number: 7912689Abstract: A method and a system are provided for enhancing structure diagram generation (“SDG”). In SDG, aesthetic two-dimensional (“2-D”) coordinates for use in a diagrammatic representation (“diagram”) of a molecule are derived from a connection table for the molecule. SDG may also improve the aesthetic qualities of a chemical structure diagram having existing coordinates, if available. SDG is enhanced by expressing the symmetry present in the molecule, by making use of symmetry in the 2-D dynamics used to lay out rings and chains, by construction of bridges using an open polygon method together with a potential function, and by an elegant approach to the relative positioning of molecules (“free rectangle method”).Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2000Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Cambridgesoft CorporationInventor: Harold E. Helson

Patent number: 7805255Abstract: Fixed bond information is derived. A fixed bond representation of a chemical structure is derived from a delocalized representation. A path is conceptually traced through the represented structure and an examination is conducted, for each atom, of each possible electronic and bonding state that is consistent with what has come before along the path. A result is found by extensively or exhaustively examining all possible states and orders in a semi-recursive procedure that is directed early towards likely answers. If there is more than one possible solution, the best solution is chosen by use of a rating function.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventor: Harold E. Helson

Patent number: 7272509Abstract: A set of product information is acquired that describes a first chemical product that is suitable for a particular use. A second chemical product that is suitable for the particular use is determined from the set of product information and a database of chemical product information. It is determined, from a set of product information that describes a chemical product and from a database of chemical product information, that multiple names refer to the same chemical substance. It is determined, based on product information acquired from an electronic catalog, whether a database includes information for a chemical substance that is described in the product information. Based on the determination, at least a portion of the product information is added to the database.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2000Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventors: Louis J.

Patent number: 6584412Abstract: An interpretation of a chemical name is used to identify information pertaining to a substance identified by the chemical name, even if the chemical name is unfamiliar. Initially, a chemical name is acquired that identifies a chemical substance. Chemical structural information is derived from the chemical name. Based on the chemical structural information, a database entry or other resource is identified pertaining to the chemical substance.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: CambridgeSoft CorporationInventor: Jonathan Brecher
